The Lily Of The Valley

By Alan L. Strang

I've a lily of the Valley That I'm keeping here for you; I care for and protect it, And water it with dew. It is a living emblem Of the wonderful domain, Where all is pure and love-like, And where we feel no pain. Yes, the Lily of the Valley Is a tie twixt you and me; For every time you see one Think how happy I must be. I'm an atom of the infinite, How wonderful it seems; Yet from your sphere the finite But a thin veil intervenes.
